It was Feb 1974, and Patty Hearst - granddaughter of publishing icon William Randolph Hearst was kidnapped by a group called the Symbionese Liberation Army. Two months later, Patty was on bank video, armed with a machine gun assisting the very group who'd kidnapped her to rob a bank. She'd announced earlier that her name was being changed to Tania and she was joining the fight of her kidnappers. The country had never seen anything like this, and followed their exploits for the next 14 months.

Two years later on the other side of the country, Cleveland Oh has earned the nickname Bomb City USA. There's a war going on in Cleveland between the mob, run by James Licavoli - the head of the Cleveland Crime family after John Scalish died. The "King of Murray Hill" was also at war with an Irish Mobster named Danny Greene - who wanted control of the local rackets.

Until violent retribution caught up with him and Danny Greene was blown to bits.

I'm going to take a dive into both these cases. It was a crazy decade for crime gripping the news and I'm going to examine the local connection of my father and his partner's case work to the Cleveland Mob.
